When I visited Old Pulteney Distillery we tasted the 12, 15, 18 and Huddart. The OP 15 was my favorite in the line up.
It’s a really nice bottle. We have the 18 review coming soon. We also have a sample of 25.... I’m sure it’s worth trying.
- Shawn
Our visit was 12, 18, Huddart and Stroma liqueur. They certainly look after you with variety.
I'm still enjoying the old 17 and I'll be opening up the 21 eventually :)
OP 15 has landed in Houston as of last week. There was one bottle left on shelf. Now it’s on mine.
Awesome info! Thank you.... What do you think of it?
Just had this last night and it was amazing! The finish is OUTSTANDING!!!!!
I absolutely loved this scotch. Complexity wise, it actually really surprised me. Just so unique, kinda like how GM Signet - unique. The richness maltiness with the briny finish. Totally incredible. My favourite I’ve tasted this year!
NICE!!! I love to hear it when someone finds one that they just fall for! :-) ~Mark
The last of the Old Pulteney 17 stock went into closeout recently in VA ABC and I managed to pick up 3 bottles at 50% off. This will probably the last time I will ever see the 17 on the shelves.
That’s a great pickup! I love when I get lucky at the liquor store.
-Shawn
Yes! Favorite distillery. OP 12 is often on sale in grocery stores for £25-27. My everyday scotch and this is next on the list. Btw, any chance Benromach 10 is coming up for a review?!
Nice review! Looking forward to trying this one sometime soon. The old 17 is an all time fave. This and the 18 have piqued my interest. I'll definitely be checking them out.
Great review guys, I've still yet to try a Pulteney but looking forward to it sometime this year. Cheers!
All of them are enjoyable, the 12 year with some polar gingerale makes for an incredibly unqiue and delicious highball
It's on the list. Thnx guys!
Great review guys. Looking forward to trying this one. In stock at a nearby store here in Sweden... about €80-85, while the 12 has remained at €35. Fair price jump from the 12 to 15, but I want it :)
That seems like a big jump in price. The 15 is worth a try but that’s a little high in my opinion
- Shawn
@@Scotch4Dummies Yeah it hurts a bit... hoping I find a bar with it in stock, or find it cheaper in my travels outside of the country.
OP has been in my list for a while. Sounds like it's time to get one. Is there any chance to get a Mortlach 16 review? This bottle is really nice!
We have been talking about Mortlach for a while. I will add it to the list. Thanks for watching!

Going there 2sep 2019😁cant wait
Enjoy your trip! We hear nothing but good stuff about the hospitality there
- Shawn
Great Review, 12 is £32 (on offer for £24 at the moment) in the UK and the 15 is just shy of £70, is it worth twice the price?
Once they are available I am going to do a Old Pulteney 15 vs Blablair 15
Might be an interesting clash between the two most disappointing product reboots in recent whisky history.
@@jasoncoates1835 I wouldn't say that just yet. I want to taste the new offerings before passing judgement. Maybe you have been fortunate enough to sample both distillery offerings, I have not.
@@trhoads07 I am fortunate enough to know both distilleries' malts via their outgoing product line but neither of the new lines has appeared here as of yet. My disappointment is (clearly) not with the whiskies but rather with the lineup/pricing/packaging. With OP we're paying more for younger whisky across the board. With Balblair we've lost the USP, and while we can't compare apples to apples on price:age, you know as well as I do that we're now asked to pay more than 3x as much for what used to be the 1990/91 vintage release.
We haven’t had a chance to really try the BalBlair reboot. I like both distilleries and I’m trying to keep an open mind.
- Shawn
Snagged myself a bottle of this today. Sounds like I have a lt to look forward to!
I have to find it i love old pulteney 12, be great to have another afforable age statement pulteney. Theres a 35 year old bottle of old pulteney availble at the store near ne for 950$
I bet the 35 year is awesome but a bit out of my budget. The 15 I can afford. Hope you can find a bottle.
- Shawn
OP 15 and 18 are here in Michigan
At least the bottles have been seen in the stores somewhere. That’s a good start.
- Shawn
The 12 year I can get in Houston for $38, hard to beat that
Texas and new Hampshire seem to have the best prices on liqour! I can find it for 35 to 38 here as well but everywjere else its about 50-60 now
That’s a good price. I wonder why it’s so much cheaper there.
-Shawn
I only got to nose this dram at an event where I was pouring, and it was delightful. Was just wondering if y'all have experience with the old 17 and how these would compare. Cheers gents
Do you think this OP 15 will be a collectors item one day like the 17 is?
Guys, you HAVE to review the Glen Garioch 15 Sherry Cask. After 300~ Whiskies, he is definitely among my top 5. It would be a (wet) dream if you could realize that someday. Sláinte
After 300 and your drinking your money. Theres nothing you can do to a whisky to make it worth that much. For 300$ i could get an ounce of the finest lab quality medical marijuana.
@@bigbud6842I meant that I already tried around 300 whiskeys. What that should have to do, however, with cannabis, is beyond me
Great review, guys. The battle of the 3's vs 3.5's. Tough battle! :-)
Great review. Can't wait till it makes it to a shelf near me.
Old Pulteney will always have a place in my heart because of the 17 yr. Let's see how this 15 fares.
one man's opinion... it doesnt begin to compare with the old 17. The 17 transported you right to the scottish coast on an early winter day with heavy reminders of kelp, seeweek, mollusks, violent waves, ocean spray and briny pools of seawater waiting for the next high tide. The 15 is heavy on toffee sweetness with a strong finish of what I can only describe as sea oats. Perhaps there is a bit of the ocean but it has to be searched for. For what it is... well OK, but as a replacement for the old 17 forget it.
I will wait in the bushes at the local liquor store until the OP truck comes with this bottle.....someone please bring peanut butter sandwiches and toilet paper.
Sounds like a plan! I would donate to your peanut butter sandwich fund.
- Shawn
Troubling times that 15 yr olds are now 75-100. That is not every day dram prices.
That was the price for the old 17 yr old.
The 12 went from @40 to @60.
And from 43% to 40.
@@jasoncoates1835 A bad move😖
@@fredhansen3340 I certainly have a hard time imagining it will improve the whisky. (I have to try to imagine this because I'm sure as sh-- not going to buy any to find out.)
Im in agreement but price is also very localized. I just picked up a bottle of old pulteney 12 for 35 dollars in new Hampshire
@@bigbud6842 Sure, prices are variable, but if you look at MSRP you can compare like with like.
The Baseline? I think it's more than that.
We just got the 12 yr old and it sucks! I found nothing but alcohol and wood! Wasted $48
Old Pultney tastes like when you throw up in your mouth then swallow it. 🤢🤢🤢🤢
I have a couple of distilleries I don’t care for. What flavors do you get that don’t do it for you with OP?
